Congratulations are also graciously extended to President George Bush for signing this bill into law.  Who knew how expensive compassionate conservatism would turn out to be?

“The Treasury Department is authorized to “guarantee” home mortgages, essentially becoming a kind of co-signer, to reduce the number of foreclosures. If the home owner stops paying his or her mortgage, taxpayers would be on the hook.”

And let’s not forget Mother Nancy who successfully scolded the Republicans last week in a successful attempt to keep them from voting for the earlier, less expensive, bill.

That includes, as the New York Post pointed out, millions in tax breaks and related pork for kids’ wooden arrows, Puerto Rican rum producers, auto race tracks, and corporations operating in American Samoa. (The likely explanation for the latter: StarKist has a large tuna-canning operation in American Samoa. And StarKist’s parent company happens to be located in the district of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.)

Now that our paid representatives have done their jobs bringing home the pork and helping Starkist Tuna, we no longer have to worry about any more bailouts.

Or do we…

I have to admit I’ve been cringing the last few weeks watching Palin’s interviews not because I was surprised she couldn’t answer specifics about policy details only a senatorial washingtonian could answer but because how brutal the gotcha interviews have been on her.  I mean CMON fair is fair. OK GRILL HER but where the hell have they been for the last 19 months regarding Obambi?  Or Biden (President Roosevelt addressing the nation in 1929 on TV?).

She solidified her claim to ‘12.  Brilliant debate, few noticeable gaffes (maybe because it wasn’t edited by liberal democrats.. er I mean the media).

Palin/Jindal ‘12 or maybe

Palin/Romney ‘12 (the Coulter ticket)

Palin/Huckabee ‘12 (the populist ticket?)

or my choice

Palin/First Dude ‘12 the real co-presidency.
